TS Galaxy FC chairman Tim Sukazi has publicly backed head coach Bernard Parker, calling him a talented leader who can guide the club forward. With the team sitting 12th in the Betway Premiership, 32 points from 30 games and a recent run of two draws and three defeats, Sukazi’s confidence comes at a critical moment for the Mpumalanga side.

What did Tim Sukazi say?

Sukazi made it clear that the club’s leadership stands fully behind Parker. “I’m quite confident,” he said. “Despite that, Coach Bernard Parker said it before that probably we are yet to see his talent, from a coaching point of view. He’s quite talented, in my view, and he’s got what it takes to steer our ship. So we’ve got confidence, so we support him, starting from me and everybody else at the top.”

The chairman’s words follow a tough spell for TS Galaxy FC, who have conceded 38 goals this season and trail league leaders Orlando Pirates by 37 points. Despite the recent struggles, Sukazi’s message is one of unwavering belief in Parker’s ability to turn things around.

Why does this matter for TS Galaxy FC?

Parker took charge of TS Galaxy FC in 2024 and has overseen a side that has struggled for consistency. The club’s attack has managed just 30 goals in 30 games, leaving them eight goals adrift in the goal difference column. With the Betway Premiership title race already looking out of reach, the focus now shifts to Parker’s ability to steady the ship and push for a top-half finish.

Sukazi’s backing sends a strong signal to players and fans alike. It shows the board’s trust in Parker’s long-term vision, even as the team navigates a difficult campaign. The chairman’s comments also suggest that the club is thinking beyond immediate results, positioning Parker as a key figure in their rebuilding phase.

What comes next for TS Galaxy FC?

The next few weeks will be crucial for Parker and his players. TS Galaxy FC face a run of tough fixtures, including a derby against Black Leopards, as they look to halt their slide. With just eight wins from 30 games so far, every point will count if they are to climb away from the relegation zone.

Sukazi’s words may not change results overnight, but they reinforce the club’s commitment to Parker. If he can steady the ship and steer TS Galaxy FC to safety, his position will be secure. For now, the chairman’s message is clear: the board believes in him.

TS Galaxy FC sit 12th in the Betway Premiership with 32 points from 30 games, eight wins, eight draws and 14 losses. They have scored 30 goals and conceded 38, leaving them eight goals behind on goal difference as they chase Orlando Pirates, who lead the table by 37 points.
